hi guys , had 360 modded last year (not j-tagged) and all has been fine , 2 little girls so they play wii, and have not downloaded much lately.
want to get kinnect for christmas and downloaded kinnect sports and it just comes up play dvd and goes to logo. i believe i need to update dashboard but will that mess w/ all my other games already burned. 2 , i thought the dash update was on all kinnect games, and 3 its a lite on dvd i have in xbox. could someone pls advise on what to do thanks

Yeah you need to update you dashboard to the new Kinect DashBoard, since its modded I would update it offline but they are easy to find. Just download it (extract if needed) and put on a FAT32 formatted USB or burn it to a disc and update. No it won't mess up anything. I recently modded then updated a console this way.

What brand dvd drive is in your Xbox, if you have an older Samsumng or Hitachi drive then the newer games are playable (but with the hitachi drive you need to download and install the full update from xbox.com to make the games work, I dont understand why), but not might be entirely safe to play on life (especially late model Hitachi) if you have a newer Xbox then the newer games with AP25 will not work until a new LT+ firmware is released.

Edit: just realized you said you had a lite-on drive, this means that the newer games that come with the new dashboard update on the disc WILL NOT work on your xbox 360, and if you try to run them they will "flag" and very likely cause your system to get banned. Wait tell LT+ is released before attempting to run these days!

Also updating to the Dashboard is fine as far as keeping your drive in tact, all older games youve burned will still work, this only effects newer games that have "ap25".

i never play online live so i dont care if i get banned but my big problem is buying the kinnect and giving it to the kids from SANTA and then not having the games work. do u guys think there will be a fix b4 christmas. what is the name of the file i am looking for to update dash .thanks for all your input so fast .

just update and forget about which games don't work on your console after the update, there are only a few newest games (non-kinect) games that it can't play at the moment and I'm sure your girls will never even touch those games

just updated dash and all old games are working ,great, but are there any kinnect games i icould burn that are not ap25 protected to test the kinnect or do i just have to wait til lt+. if i try to test like kinnect sports , will it ban me and lastly and most importantly , when the fix comes out how will it work , can we apply it via usb or dvd , or will the xbox need to be opened again and the dvd drive flashed w/ all the bs iforgot how to do thanks

i used the dash from microsoft usb install, here are my only questions up to this point
w/ the lite on drive
1 which 360 games are ap2.5 protected
2 if you put in an ap2.5 protected game will it just ban u or could it brick you (these new games, when they ask u to update, its just updating the dash right)
3 when LT+ is released, will it be a software hack that we can use as a boot dick or something or will we need to take apart xbox and flash the dvd drive again
